Metal Mouth Message Board

I love my new smile, although the teeth look kinda big compared to what i a mused to.

Sorry for not posting much since surgery, had a lot going on.

On the 21st February I will be becoming naked so to speak.

Am looking forward to it a lot.

If you were actually talking about an overbite, you would need metal braces I think, as that is what I received. I am 17/18 and I have no problem with them.

My skin on the lower lip has begun to peel off, for those who have had that happen, what can be done about it, and how long does it take to regrow.

Ok Then, I am on the other side now Day one. I started fasting at midnight, and I was booked in to surgery at 10am, though the previous paitent toook a while longer, so I went in at 2pm. Upon waking up, I surprisingly didn't feel any pain, I think it was the anaesthetic talking because an hour after...
